Cold Foggy and Wet

It's been cold, foggy, and wet lately. Yay, California Winter is finally underway. I woke up this morning to find the hills on the far side of the ravine adrift in a sea of mist. It had a bit of the feel of this painting, though perhaps more blue-greys for the live oaks and evergreens. The rain has been making it a bit more difficult to find the chances to spray fixative layers (since I like to leave the painting outside for about half an hour after spraying to let the fumes dissipate a bit). Making progress. Perhaps it can be finished by the end of this weekend?
